Inclined Planes

We just started a new Science/Engineering Unit: inclined planes.  The scholars have already discovered through investigations the following concepts: forces (push or pull), motion, speed, gravity, surface, angle. Some of the scholars were so excited, that they designed and made ramps at home. Pictured below is Evan demonstrating his ramp. Each time he tested, he increased the height of the ramp. The excitement, conversations and connections that occurred were incredible! Another scholar, Carter made a video of his ramp design and testing.
